Fish Oil: Once a day or spaced out?

[Rock Lee]

Is it better to take your fish oil in one large dose or space it out throughout the day?

Also I know people always say not to combine fats and carbs because the insulin will shuttle the fat into adipose...does this rule apply for good fats as well, like fish oil?

I like to space it out. How much are you taking?? It would likely be such a small amount of fat that it would have negligible effects, even if combined with carbs.

Most people space it out...I like taking it as a bolus at night, with some casein protein.

Whats a bolus?

heh. large dose given rapidly so that you quickly see the desired effect. ALthough you usually only hear it used w/IV drugs and fluids. Like for a hypotensive patient you might give a 500cc bolus.

Also, a bolus can refer to a ball of food. When you chew then swallow, the thing you are swallowing is a bolus

I take 4 fish oil caps 3x daily, just as long as it's not post workout

i like to take 5ml with a meal and another 5-6ml before bed with a casein protein shake.
